She
September 21st, 2013Low calorie, in a pink can, and peach flavoured. It’s aimed clearly at women, with a share of profits going to the She Charity funding projects supporting women and children. Sadly, I don’t think they’ll sell many cans unless they tweak the flavour slightly – the peach really didn’t work for me and I found it far too sharp. On the plus side it does contain things like ginseng and aloe vera… lovely.

Blue Bastard
September 18th, 2013This drink is all about the name. You take a standard Red Bull clone, wrap it with an awesome name, and you have a winning product! The taste is what you’d expect from any clone: sweet, sickly, and certainly not refreshing. It gives you a kick, and you can show off the can to your mates. It was reasonably priced too as I could purchase three of these to one Red Bull. The originality rating is boosted due to branding and not for the taste.
Evolve
September 14th, 2013Too sweet, metallic tasting, and leaves a nasty taste in the mouth. I can’t recommend this brand unfortunately – it’s just a bad Red Bull clone and as it’s supplied in a large can, there’s also a lot of it to get through. Too sickly to be enjoyable.
Pulsar Cherry
September 11th, 2013A pleasant Lucozade wannabe with a refreshing cherry flavour. It doesn’t pack much of a caffeine kick, but it’s still more than the orange version of this product which doesn’t even list any caffeine in the ingredients. Cheap and cheerful (cherryful?)
Inca (Createam Promotion)
September 7th, 2013You won’t find this drink with this label in any shops. It was a promotional can which was produced by the marketing agency CreateamPromotion. You can effectively package a can of energy drink in any label you like, so you may come across cans of this energy drink with a different label. The flavour was a cloned Red Bull, but with a slightly burnt caramel taste poking through.

KX Fiery
September 4th, 2013This is certainly an original drink. The fiery part of the flavour is from the main flavour ingredient of ginger, and it is very strong! I enjoyed it to start with because I’d never tried an energy drink quite like it. There are other ginger flavoured drinks, but they’re mostly quite watery – this one was strong! After less that half a can though I was struggling. The flavour is so strong that it becomes very sickly to drink, and by the end I was having to force it down on principle. The worse was yet to come because the strongest part of the flavour was collected in the final dregs at the bottom of the can. I felt like I’d gargled pure ginger juice…. it’s certainly full marks for something new though!

Precision Engineered Energy Shot
August 31st, 2013Billed as being a fruit punch flavour, it’s certainly fruity of an indistinguishable variety. Quite sweet and not too strongly flavoured, it has a very nice balance and was quite an enjoyable shot. Sadly though I’m unable to properly review the strength of the product due to the lack of caffeine information on the label. Customer services were also not forthcoming with the required information and have ignored my request for assistance! There seems to be enough caffeine in the product to wake you up, but I didn’t feel any more of a buzz than I would with any other energy shot so apart from the flavour, it’s not worth the high price tag.
Rip It – Citrus X Sugar Free
August 24th, 2013As with the full-fat version, I wasn’t too impressed with this drink. The sharp orange taste is just too overpowering. There are many other flavours in the Rip It range, so spend your money on those instead.

Rip It – Power Sugar Free
August 21st, 2013I was a little disappointed I have to say. Whereas most energy drinks in my opinion taste better in their sugar-free versions, Rip It have made their full-fat versions so nice that the sugar-free ones fail to equal the taste. It was nice, but not as nice as the normal version so I’d suggest you go for that one instead. Aside from that, it’s the same unique flavour as Rip It Power which you can’t get anywhere else.
